  • SCMS 2019 Conference Program
    CELEBRATING SIXTY YEARS SCMS 1959-2019 SCMSCONFERENCE 2019PROGRAM Sheraton Grand Seattle MARCH 13–17 Letter from the President Dear 2019 Conference Attendees, This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies. Formed in 1959, the first national meeting of what was then called the Society of Cinematologists was held at the New York University Faculty Club in April 1960. The two-day national meeting consisted of a business meeting where they discussed their hope to have a journal; a panel on sources, with a discussion of “off-beat films” and the problem of renters returning mutilated copies of Battleship Potemkin; and a luncheon, including Erwin Panofsky, Parker Tyler, Dwight MacDonald and Siegfried Kracauer among the 29 people present. What a start! The Society has grown tremendously since that first meeting. We changed our name to the Society for Cinema Studies in 1969, and then added Media to become SCMS in 2002. From 29 people at the first meeting, we now have approximately 3000 members in 38 nations. The conference has 423 panels, roundtables and workshops and 23 seminars across five-days. In 1960, total expenses for the society were listed as $71.32. Now, they are over $800,000 annually. And our journal, first established in 1961, then renamed Cinema Journal in 1966, was renamed again in October 2018 to become JCMS: The Journal of Cinema and Media Studies. This conference shows the range and breadth of what is now considered “cinematology,” with panels and awards on diverse topics that encompass game studies, podcasts, animation, reality TV, sports media, contemporary film, and early cinema; and approaches that include affect studies, eco-criticism, archival research, critical race studies, and queer theory, among others.

  • THE HISTORY of SMU FOOTBALL 1910S on the Morning of Sept
    OUTLOOK PLAYERS COACHES OPPONENTS REVIEW RECORDS HISTORY MEDIA THE HISTORY OF SMU FOOTBALL 1910s On the morning of Sept. 14, 1915, coach Ray Morrison held his first practice, thus marking the birth of the SMU football program. Morrison came to the school in June of 1915 when he became the coach of the University’s football, basketball, baseball and track teams, as well as an instructor of mathematics. A former All-Southern quarterback at Vanderbilt, Morrison immediately installed the passing game at SMU. A local sportswriter nicknamed the team “the Parsons” because the squad was composed primarily of theology students. SMU was a member of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which ruled that neither graduate nor transfer students were eligible to play. Therefore, the first SMU team consisted entirely of freshmen. The Mustangs played their first game Oct. 10, 1915, dropping a 43-0 decision to TCU in Fort Worth. SMU bounced back in its next game, its first at home, to defeat Hendrix College, 13-2. Morrison came to be known as “the father of the forward pass” because of his use of the passing game on first and second downs instead of as a last resort. • During the 1915 season, the Mustangs posted a record of 2-5 and scored just three touchdowns while giving up 131 Ownby Stadium was built in 1926 points. SMU recorded the first shutout in school history with a 7-0 victory over Dallas University that year. • SMU finished the 1916 season 0-8-2 and suffered its worst 1920s 1930s loss ever, a 146-3 drubbing by Rice.

    ANTHOLOGY FILM ARCHIVES OCTOBER – DECEMBER PRESS LISTINGS OCTOBER 2013 PRESS LISTINGS MIX NYC PRESENTS: Tommy Goetz A BRIDE FOR BRENDA 1969, 62 min, 35mm MIX NYC, the producer of the NY Queer Experimental Film Festival, presents a special screening of sexploitation oddity A BRIDE FOR BRENDA, a lesbian-themed grindhouse cheapie set against the now-tantalizing backdrop of late-60s Manhattan. Shot in Central Park, Times Square, the Village, and elsewhere, A BRIDE FOR BRENDA narrates (quite literally – the story is told via female-voiced omniscient narration rather than dialogue) the experiences of NYC-neophyte Brenda as she moves into an apartment with Millie and Jane. These apparently unremarkable roommates soon prove themselves to be flesh-hungry lesbians, spying on Brenda as she undresses, attempting to seduce her, and making her forget all about her paramour Nick (and his partners in masculinity). As the narrator intones, “Once a young girl has been loved by a lesbian, it’s difficult to feel satisfaction from a man again.” –Thurs, Oct 3 at 7:30. TAYLOR MEAD MEMORIAL SCREENING Who didn’t love Taylor Mead? Irrepressible and irreverent, made of silly putty yet always sharp- witted, he was an underground icon in the Lower East Side and around the world. While THE FLOWER THIEF put him on the map, and Andy Warhol lifted him to Superstardom, Taylor truly made his mark in the incredibly vast array of films and videos he made with notables and nobodies alike. A poster child of the beat era, Mead was a scene-stealer who was equally vibrant on screen, on stage, or in a café reading his hilarious, aphoristic poetry.

  • Do Joe Flacco, Ju'wuan James and Kareem Jackson Make The
    Do Joe Flacco, Ju’Wuan James and Kareem Jackson make the Broncos better? By Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post March 13, 2019 Fifteen things about the first two days of the NFL’s free agent negotiating period: 1. The “legal tampering” window should be abolished. First, the name is stupid. Second, it serves no purpose. The league should announce the date and time when signings and trades can be executed and every team can start from there. No negotiating window. No players potentially backing out on verbal agreements (like linebacker Anthony Barr did Tuesday, returning to Minnesota after committing to the Jets). No having to talk about “intends to sign with,” “agree to terms,” and other mumbo jumbo. 2. Did the Broncos get better by trading for quarterback Joe Flacco and agreeing to terms with right tackle Ju’Wuan James and cornerback/safety Kareem Jackson? Easy question. Tough answer. 3. The Broncos did upgrade at quarterback — we’ve made that clear. They definitely got better at No. 2 cornerback (Jackson instead of Bradley Roby). Right tackle is a tough one. When healthy, Jared Veldheer was more than serviceable. But in making James the league’s highest-paid right tackle (four years, $51 million), general manager John Elway is expecting improvement for at least the next three years. 4. OK, the Broncos are better at three positions. But does that move them up a rung into the AFC West and into wild-card contention? Not yet. Unless something develops out of thin air, they’re waiting to address tight end until the draft and should also add a cornerback, a cover linebacker, a safety and multiple offensive linemen.

  • Chapter 2 Inventory of Facilities
    Chapter 2 – Inventory of Facilities Chapter 2 Inventory of Facilities One of the initial tasks in the preparation of an airport master plan is the collection of information on the condition of existing facilities and services. This inventory of data is necessary to not only evaluate the physical attributes of airside and landside infrastructure, but also to complete subsequent study tasks, such as demand/capacity analyses and the determination of facility requirements. Information collected focuses on the use, size, quantity, type, area, operational intent, and other characteristics of the airside and landside components of an airport. Typical categories of information that are collected include history, physical infrastructure, regional setting, surrounding land uses, environmental features, historical aviation activity, business affairs, and socioeconomic demographics of the surrounding community. Several sources of information were referenced to compile a comprehensive database of the facilities and services at the University Park Airport (Airport). These included, but were not limited to, the previous Airport Master Plan, recent National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documents, the Airport website, the Terminal Area Master Plan, the Land Use Plan, and the Airport Layout Plan (ALP). In addition, historical enplanements, aircraft operations, based aircraft, aircraft fleet mix, enplaned cargo, and automobile parking data were obtained from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) databases and Airport records.

  • It's Late Sunday Night and I Waited Until the End of the Super Bowl to Put the Finishing Touches on This Column
    Packer Championship Evokes Valuable Life Lessons…Dr. James Fitzpatrick It’s late Sunday night and I waited until the end of the Super Bowl to put the finishing touches on this column. “How bout those Packers!” My WHAT A GAME! In Packer lore its unlikely any team will ever be as beloved as the Lombardi coached Ice Bowl team, but this team would get my vote. Has there ever been a team in the NFL that had to work so hard and overcome so much adversity to get to the Super Bowl and then win it? Like their season they even lost star players during the game only to have others step up and play like champions! What a couple of weeks this has been! Why is it that we are so emotionally drawn to our teams? When you think of our basic human needs one would think sports irrelevant to survival—and of course they are. Yet the jubilation that comes with victory and the despair that comes with losing really is mentally and physically taxing. Contrast the mental mindset of Wisconsinites compared to Pittsburgh fans on Monday, February 7th. Indeed our state got a welcomed boost during a tough economic time and a winter that most would like to see end. It is from sports and champions that we learn some valuable lessons. From this Packer team we learned about resolve. After the Detroit loss a lesser team might have unraveled. The lesson learned—bad things happen to us, our families, and in our work places. Keeping our poise and remaining focused will always help us “right the ship” in times of adversity, getting us back on the right path.
